GitHub Login on Parse.com
- cmwelsh 14y agoIt's always smart to assign a password to your account. Github was down just the other day. Keep a password assigned to your account just in case. By the way, I think github is a great single sign on for hacker related services. People who use parse are usually already logged in on GitHub... Right?
- latchkey 14y agoImplementing GitHub login is no more valuable than offering Facebook login. It ties things to a single identity provider and limits the number of people who can use it (ie: no FB/GH account, no ability to use it). Why not implement Mozilla Persona instead?
- artursapek 14y agoBecause what the hell is Mozilla Persona? The Parse user base and the GitHub user base overlap a lot.
- latchkey 14y agoIt doesn't matter really what 'Mozilla Persona' is. All that matters is that instead of implementing GitHub login, which is a single identity provider, sites should focus on implementing a global solution to login now that a viable one is available. The general concept here is that the user just needs an email address and a password to login to any site. I'm tired of having to remember a bunch of usernames and passwords, aren't you?
- callahad 14y agoArguably, Persona and Parse more than overlap: the supported user base of Persona is a proper superset of Parse's actual and potential user bases. :) Persona works with any email address, and it's completely decentralized (albeit with a temporary, centralized fallback for bootstrapping)
